Robbie Coetzee
Robbie Coetzee of the Lions has been cited for alleged foul play during a Super Rugby match at the weekend.
Coetzee is alleged to have contravened 10.4 (j) Lifting Tackle, in an incident which occurred in the 49th minute of the Super Rugby match between the Cheetahs and Lions at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on 23 May 2015.
The referee for the match, Jaco van Heerden, issued a yellow card for the incident. Upon further review of the match footage, the Citing Commissioner deemed in his opinion the incident had met the red card threshold for foul play.
The citing is to be considered in the first instance by SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Nigel Hampton QC.
All SANZAR disciplinary matters are in the first instance referred to a Duty Judicial Officer hearing to provide the option of expediting the judicial process.
For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the DJO.
Player: Robbie Coetzee
Team: Lions
Position: Hooker
Date of Incident: 23 May 2015
Nature of Offence: Law 10.4 (j) Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player’s feet are still off the ground such that the player’s head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play.
Elapsed time in match when incident occurred: 49th minute
Should be the end of Coetzee’s SR season.
Possibly may just get a week though for having a “clean” record?
Oh, and for the record, I think the citing is warranted. At the time I expected a red card.

I saw it, but compared to the Warathas’ two forwards who combined to plant the Crusader ball carrier , Robbie’s spear tackle looks fairly innocent?
I expect the Waratahs players will get 1 week, Robbie to get 5 weeks
😀 😀
And in other good news for the Bulls supporters…….Visser is back!!!!
Bulls – 15 Jurgen Visser, 14 Francois Hougaard, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Burger Odendaal, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Handré Pollard, 9 Rudy Paige, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Arno Botha, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Grant Hattingh, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Marcel van der Merwe, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Dean Greyling.

I swear HM is going to pick Zane Kirschner again.
Watch.
5: Hoera !
6: Le Roux en Kriel.
Nie Zane nie, is te voorspelbaar, ook nie Webster (Stormers se heelagter) nie, te klein.
@ Stormersboy:
haha watch nou hoe goed speel Zane teen Engeland die naweek.

eerlikwaar dink ek nie Visser kan naby so kak heelagter wees soos JLP nie
10: het jy Visser teen die Stormers op Loftus in eerste game gesien ? Na daai game het ek gesê daardie groot blaps gaan ons nog ons momentum vir die seisoen kos.
Moenie verbaas wees as hy Vrydag weer ‘n stervertoning lewer …. vir die Brumbies nie.
@ Ben-die-Bul:
Ja daai was n vieslike drop gewees… ek sal eerder JJ op heelagter sit as Kriel nie daar is nie.
I see Coetzee got a 3 match ban, so his SR season is over, unless the Lions can sneak into the top 6

Gee krediet vir die Stormer skopper….alles was aerodynamically uitgewerk met net die regte hoeveelheid top en bottom en back spin…..Visser het nie n kans gestaan nie.

fokof haha
14: my ouma sou daai bal toe oe gevang het …..
16: ………. en deur die hele Stormers span gehardloop het om onder die pale te score.

Soos Ouma was Visser se ogies ook toe….nie so lekker vir hom gewerk nie 😆
Hoekom Ludeke nog nie vir Basson, die beste lugspeler in SA, op heelagter probeer het nie, is vir my ‘n raaisel. As die Ndgane broers dit regkry, Mvovo, sal Basson sekerlik ook ?
Gulde geleentheid gehad teen Chiefs. Basson op heelagter, JJE na vleuel, en Odendaal saam Jan op senter.
Sou ook vir WSS in Visser se plek oorgevat het vir die laaste 2 games.

I’ll be watching the SA players with interest, Ruan and Zane in particular.
Maybe even Meisikind as well.
Ruan will definitely be in the squad, but some of the others may be dark horses too…….

Like Louis Fouche, I hear?

Ludeke het alreeds die span versterk met Dean en Visser 🙁
Ek wonder hoekom hy nie met Callie, Werner en JLP begin nie? 😯
Ek sien Jake the Snake het vir Meisiekind laat loop
Vet wangetjies Xander gaan seker binnekort met groot fanfare aankondig dat die Bulle hom geteken het tot 2025 soos Dean
13 @ nortie:
Lions only have 2 round robin games left. They have a bye the last week.
Is the ban for 3 weeks, or 3 games?
Could make a big difference!
23 @ Scrumdown:
Think he will only be eligible if the Lions win their first play off game, so from semi final onwards
